systemd-boot: add 'graceful' configuration option

Browse source 
On some systems bootctl cannot write the `LoaderSystemToken` EFI variable
during installation, which results in a failure to install the boot
loader. Upstream provides a flag (--graceful) to ignore such write failures -
this change exposes it as a configuration option.

As the exact semantics of this option appear to be somewhat volatile it
should be used only if systemd-boot otherwise fails to install.
